I tried a couple bags of whole bean Major Dickason's Blend from Target, and they were phenomenal. So I ordered a couple directly from Peet's thinking it would be fresher and even better, but noooo.
Both of these (roasted on 8/10/16) taste bitter and burnt instead of rich, smooth and mellow. Highly disappointed.

Good coffee beans do not need turned in the gas grill scrapings and this coffee hits the spot.. This is the IPA of coffee's and it's' all I drink.

The WORST coffe I've ever had. NOT! Insane flavor, supreme depth. Can't stop drinking it. Will not drink anything else.

Although I love the Epresso Forte, "The Major" ranks as my all time favorite .. I purchase the whole beans and grind them at home for my morning cappuccino .. Every morning ! If I just want a cup of coffee, I reach for The Major again .. The flavor just says Peet's to me !!

i have been drinking coffee for 59years now, and have finally found that cup of coffee that satisfies my coffee taste. Went trhorugh a lot of brands before finding Major Dickinson's Blend. Think I'll have another cup right now.

Major Dickason's Blend: because, life is too short to drink bad coffee. This coffee is the best warm up my mouth, full of flavor, distinctively Peet's and the reason why I do not buy Star*&^%s coffee. Love it, hope its always available.

Major Dickason's Blend is like a perfectly orchestrated symphony. Five coffees, each with very different flavors on their own, combine for the smoothest cup with sneaky peaks of flavor! It's so easy and rewarding to drink!
